This was due in part to typical annual demands of the CFCamp conference in Germany, for which we spent some significant time working on the roadmap for the next major and minor versions of Lucee, creating some test builds for demo purposes, etc. But more importantly, it’s also due to an uptick in regressions over the past two releases (5.3.3.62 (final) 5.3.4.54 (RC)). We spent a lot more time than anticipated working with ticket reporters, identifying regression sources, and of course discussing/debating then implementing and testing fixes.

ColdFusion 2020, slated to be released next year, is going one such pivotal release in the history of ColdFusion. The vision for ColdFusion 2020 goes like this:“To be the modernized platform of choice for building cloud-native microservice applications with absolute focus on ease of use without getting locked to a particular cloud vendor (multi-cloud).”Attend this session as the Product Manager for ColdFusion unravels every piece of ColdFusion 2020 that leads to the overarching vision.Register online: https://cfwebinar-cf2020.meetus.adobeevents.com/ColdBox 6 Alpha ColdBox 6 Alpha is ready to work on ForgeBox.

I haven't used the Elvis operator all that much, so I am still getting used to how it works. And, historically, I've only ever used it once in a single expression. The other day, however, I had a scenario where I wanted to use it several times in a single expression; and, I was happy to find that it works exactly as you might hope in Lucee CFML 5.3.3.62.https://www.bennadel.com/blog/3735-the-elvis-operator-can-be-chained-multiple-times-in-a-single-expression-in-lucee-cfml-5-3-3-62.htmTweet - Lucee about TutorialsWant to increase your knowledge?
